We will have our ever popular support staff training at Lancaster & Morecambe College.

These will include ideas for lunchtimes, classrooms and clubs… and the play ground!
It is mainly aimed at support staff but PE teachers may attend if they wish.
As it’s for support staff we’ve found 9.15-11.30 fits best, between duties, so hopefully you can send 1-4 members of staff along. PLease book each member on.
It is an active course so please wear approriate footwear and clothing and bring a drink. (you may simply watch practical activities if required).

SSN Schools Only
Invite here: GLOW 5,6,7 Dodgeball 11 DEC Lanc & Heysham

Dear PE Co-ordinator,
We would like to invite your school to enter the Lancaster & Heysham SSN
5/6/7 GLOW DODGEBALL FESTIVAL!
This event is scheduled at LANCASTER UNIVERSITY (not University of Cumbria),
on 11th December 2023 9.45-11.30
The event is back and big… in the double sportshall… in the dark!

Teams: 8 on court, Squads of 8- 10, Years 5/6/7. Smaller schools may bring year 4s if required.
Primary- no minimum ratio of boy/girls, secondary may be boys, girls or mixed from year 7 only.
Schools may bring 1 team and request others (by booking on twice) but last time it was full very quickly so is probably unlikely. We have a max number of 32 teams.

This is a fun based event and we will be asking pupils to display honesty. Those not playing a game will officiate their own games. It is not about winning and losing- we simply want a group of pupils to come along and have fun being active, work as a team and be with their friends and be at a bigger event again. Because of the darkened setting, it has been shown to be particular good for pupils who may be more self-conscious than others.

Glow dodgeball takes place in a darkened room with ultraviolet lights that cause balls and players equipment to glow! It’s something a little different- hopefully you can pick a ‘different’ group of pupils. Secondary schools- we’d encourage you to consider choosing pupils who have possibly struggled with transition but would benefit from a fun session with peers.

There will not be an overall winner. Instead we will reward schools on ‘The Spirit of the Games’ values which are Determination, Honesty, Teamwork, Passion, and Self Belief. Hopefully it’s an opportunity for you to pick a targeted group of pupils of your choice. On your feedback forms you suggested transition was a potential issue we hope this will help… Last year we had several Year 7 Heads of Year attend with their teams and found that very useful in building relationships; and lastly, pupil health and wellbeing has been mentioned, this is a chance to have fun, be active and work as a team! Pupils not playing will also have a chance to officiate. Please dress up in your best fluorescent clothing!! For some pictures of our previous Glow event see our social media at @LHschoolsport https://www.facebook.com/LHschoolsport

Coaches can drop off at the side of the sports centre and park on the hashed areas on that side road- please let us know how you plan to travel up prior to the day. See the map below. There is also additional overflow car parking at the side of the sports centre- 2 hours of parking is free, if you arrive too early you may require £3 for the machine- we hope this is not the case but just have it in case.

Event details are as follows:

No spectators.
Schools encouraged to bring some team members who may have a go at officiating- We want the session to be pupils coming together, working together, having fun being active. Teachers may be required to plug gaps but formats will be informal- it’s fun based!
Wear any luminous clothing and/or use UV pens to draw on old clothes. All those children of the 1990s- dig out your old glow sticks and wrist bands! Fluorescent clothing and white work best. We will supply a limited amount of UV make up and glow sticks.

Teams of 8, squads up to 10 (teams may be mixed but there are not set criteria/ratios).
Date: 11th December; 9.45-11.30
Venue: Lancaster University Sports Centre
Please don’t arrive more than 15 minutes before the start & be ready in your finest UV/glow gear!
1 – but you may request a 2nd team (probably unlikely!), 1st come first served.
